The tribe expects to see $27.7 million from the program, council member Billy Nicholson wrote in The Tribal Tribune. It would be up to individual landowners to accept any offers once they are made.

"All landowners are assured a minimum base payment of $75 on their property,"
Nicholson wrote. "Some of the highly fractionated interests have reached a $1 in value but they will receive a minimum of $75 for their highly fractionated interests."

Participation is entirely voluntary. Any land that is acquired will be
returned to tribes.

Since offers went out in in late 2013, Indian landowners have accepted
over $714 million for their fractionated interests, according to the buy-back
program. The equivalent of nearly 1.5 million acres have been returned to tribes.
